The rule in plain words
For short positions: these three added up cannot be more than carrying amount:
- Level 2
- Level 3
- Level 1
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.
F_14.00: Short positions, Level 2 + F_14.00: Short positions, Level 3 + F_14.00: Short positions, Level 1 <= F_01.02: Short positions
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 01.02 and F 14.00 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Short positions, carrying amount must then be at least 2,450.
A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,350 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
